About Lloyd Kahn
Lloyd Kahn started building his own home in the early '60s and went on to publish books showing homeowners how they could build their own homes with their own hands. He got his start in publishing by working as the shelter editor of the
Whole Earth Catalog with Stewart Brand in the late '60s. He has since authored six highly-graphic books on homemade building, all of which are interrelated. The books, "The Shelter Library Of Building Books," include
Shelter,
Shelter II (1978),
Home Work (2004),
Builders of the Pacific Coast (2008),
Tiny Homes (2012), and
Tiny Homes on the Move (2014). Lloyd operates from Northern California studio built of recycled lumber, set in the midst of a vegetable garden, and hooked into the world via five Mac computers. You can check out videos (one with over 450,000 views) on Lloyd by doing a search on YouTube:
Last night I traded a building book to fisherman Todd for these 2 beauties. How about that Pacific Ocean?

It's interesting to reflect on how docile these crabs look sitting in a box out of their element. The reality is that only the males are kept of a certain size, ie the bigger males, and that when in the water these are fast, agile, fierce and aggressive little warriors with lots of attitude.
If you are ever down at the docks buying off a boat with a live tank ask if you can roll up your sleeve and try catching one from a (highly oxtgenated) tank. HA!
Give thanks when eating these noble creatures, they have a much more sophisticated and powerful life then we ever realize from seeing them out of the water and suffocating.
But damn they are GOOD to eat
